The skittles touch advert where everything the guy touches turns to skittles

[Cockneycarl]

(Full advert if you haven't seen the full version) How did they do the desk bit?

Fiddling on the computer I'd guess.

I don't know, but it always makes me really sad.

I hate that advert

To produce the CG skittles in the desk shape and then collapse them they would use something like Maxons Cinema 4d or Autodesks Maya 3D.
Then maybe Houdini or Boujou for the track motion.
Its actually pretty simple believe it or not, the part that takes the longest is rendering the graphics

That's horrible, I haven't seen that before.
